watch them thar patches

Many peoples' problem, and mine also: if you have patched to 1.21, and you are using a saved game from before 1.21, you can NEVER, EVER, **EVER** get the Intellect Devourer to spawn "normally", no matter what you do with the guards. Kill 'em, free 'em, ignore 'em - makes no difference.

gah :/

Doh

Luckily I had this done pre-1.21 :/

Couldn't you reinstall without the patches and whatever?
This has been a problem with all the BG games so far as well. Save games getting fucked, and you having to replay a ton of stuff to get back to where you were before. It's a real motivation-killer.

aye Lou, it's pissed me off no end even if I had only installed for a look-see. I have to fully reinstall my pc soon anyway, so I'm not going to get neck deep in a game.
Next time I'll patch straight away, but I wonder what future upgrades may bring...

anyway there are several working ways around this issue. check out the nwn tech-help forums. some of the hacks are creative to say the least
